So I just started Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic the other night.

Damn it's good. I'm usually not a fan of RPGs (theres about three I enjoyed, and this is one of them), but this is just FUN.

Choosing between lightside and dark side is really damn entertaining, and has a profound effect on the game world. My only gripe is that choices seem to fall into extremes at times. You can either give someone a lot of cash to survive, or kill them. There's often no middle ground.

I'm currently playing through as a good guy. The game is fun, but it'd be so much better if I could just start killing the whiney people begging for my help. ;) One person on your team in particular deserves this. .

I can't wait for my dark side run so I can do all the evil things I haven't been able to do so far.

And according to Oobey, the story is competely different as dark side, with the options to betray/kill/destroy the people you helped in the light-side campaign. You essentially get two games in one.

What are the other two?

Final Fantasy X and Zelda: Link's Awakening (for game boy).

And yes, I know that Zeld is more of an adventure game than an RPG.

Not to sound  like a fan boy or anything, but I have to say FF7 was the best RPG I've played, though I'll always have a special place in my heart for Legend of Vay.

Isn't that the one where

You and your

Eh, Final Fantasy. I could never enjoy a series where none of the installments have any relation to the other, except in special cases where there are idiotic titles involved like X-2. I don't know, I have always found Final Fantasy to be kind of, eh, "girly games", for lack of a better all encompassing term. Chrono Trigger was nice though.

Really though, I can't say I'm a devout RPG fan, as so many seem to be poorly executed. But when I find a good one, I love it. Actually, I was enjoying Morrowind last month until it decided it didn't want to run on my computer anymore, hehe. Diablo II is still on my machine, and I play it on occasion (As well as Hellfire, which I have on my laptop). Lately though, I've actually been debating whether or not to install Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption and have another run through it.

I just got the best new party member ever.


I love this game.

lol you spoilered something just about everyone already knows, ahahhahahhaa!!!!!!oneoneoneoneoneone ;)

I hear that at the end of Romeo and Juliet, . Shhhhhh.

But anyway, hell yeah I told you this game rules, Con.

I didn't know he was an

I just got past , and all I have to say is

HOLY SHIT

I didn't see that coming. At all.

Man, if the Star Wars movies had the same kind of plot this game did, I'd be in heaven.

HK-47 has been mentioned by Bioware several times as being most players' favorite character.

Incidentally, he was designed as the straight man (in theatrical terms) -- an anti-C3-P0 with no humor.  But the writer for KOTOR had just finished writing a ton of serious dialogue, and decided to put a twist to HK-47's mission and purpose.

Playtesters loved it, as has most everyone since.

As for the others...


Personally, Carth resounded with me as being a very well-written character.  I found myself accepting him, his personal flaws, and the way he choses to view and go through life, just as I do towards other people in real life.  He was very non-two-dimensional, and well voiced as well.

You didn't see that coming Con? Strikes me as odd.. that whole plot twist was exactly what I was waiting for from the start. It came later than I'd expected :)

I was fine with Bastila, but I still hate Carth.

I agree that he's well-written and voiced...I just hate him.
